Since its beta launch in June 2025, more than 100 customers worldwide have used OneVision to accelerate AI-powered vision development and deployment, with many progressing from single-line applications to multi-site rollouts in days instead of months. This momentum reflects a broader shift as manufacturers move beyond isolated AI pilots toward connected, enterprise-wide inspection strategies. The platform addresses a persistent challenge in industrial AI: deploying advanced vision applications at enterprise scale without adding complexity or slowing production. This introduces a cloud-to-edge architecture, where AI models are trained, managed, and governed in the cloud, while inspection runs at the edge on Cognex vision systems for real-time, reliable execution. Customers can now centrally manage the entire AI lifecycle – from collecting and labeling production images to refining mod-els – and deploy updates consistently across global fleets of devices. The platform is optimized to work with Cognex’s latest systems, including the In-Sight 3900 and 6900. „While OneVision leverages the cloud for development and management, runtime inspection remains fully edge-based,“ said Reto Wyss, Vice President of Vision Engi-neering at Cognex. „Once a model is deployed, no connectivity to the cloud is required. Production images stay local and latency is a non-issue.“
Customer Stories: from Essity, Schneider Electric to 3M
„With our previous approach, developing a reliable sealing inspection application took more than a year of iteration and tuning, and quality issues could lead to full batch returns and significant material waste,“ said Amin Tajeddine, Operational Technology and Digitization Manager at Essity. „Using OneVision, we were able to build and demonstrate a viable solution in less than a day.“ Christophe Ernis, Smart Operation Manager, Product Power Division at Schneider Electric: „One Vision allowed us to develop and validate AI inspection standards centrally and then deploy those same models across our worldwide operations. That approach helped us double yield, dramatically reduce false rejects, and reduce our dependence on spe-cialized vision expertise. Most importantly, it gives us a repeatable way to scale best practices reliably across our factories.“ „With OneVision, our engineers can quickly label real production images, build models, and deploy them to cameras with far less effort,“ said Scott Daniels, Senior Manufacturing Technology Engineer, 3M. n
